A father hold his baby at the Mother and Child Hospital after the child was treated for a respiratory infection. Doctors and nurses have fled Yemen, leaving hospitals stretched thin. "A lot of my colleagues have already left or are trying to travel to the Gulf states to find a better life", says one Yemeni doctor working in Sanaa. From my latest assignment done for Doctors Without Borders, also published in National Geographic Magazine. Taiz, Yemen 2018. © Matteo Bastianelli.

He suffered two heart attacks and kidney failure. In November 2018 MSF took the difficult decision to close its project in Ad Dhale Governorate after repeated attacks and threats of violence on medical facilities and health staff.

Yemen's depleted health ministry relies on humanitarian organization to provide medical care. Ad Dhale, Yemen 2018 © Matteo Bastianelli.

Of the 31 private hospitals in the surroundings, 15 are closed and 5 only partly functioning. No public hospital in the area is fully functioning at the moment and the few private health facilities are inaccessible to many. According to the United Nations the Yemen crisis has become the world's worst humanitarian crisis; around 16 million people are in need of protection and humanitarian assistance due to the lack of health services and supplies caused by the ongoing war and blockade.

In 2015 Ad Dhale was partly occupied by the Houthis, but after months of heavy clashes it became the first town taken back by the "resistance". Ad Dhale, Yemen 2018 © Matteo Bastianelli.
